"Listen to my explanation."
Lin Xiao saw that Mu Qing's almond-shaped eyes were wide open, as if she wanted to perish together with him. He hurriedly explained, "Just now, your cold poison acted up, and the situation was very dangerous. I did that to protect your heart."
"Really?"
Hearing this, Mu Qing already believed most of it. However, when she thought of how she had been molested by Lin Xiao time and time again, a blush appeared on her pretty face. She bit her lips and said softly, "But you can't molest me …"
"The sun and moon can see that I really did it to save you!"
Hearing this, Lin Xiao couldn't help but raise his finger, as if he was about to swear an oath.
Mu Qing was amused by Lin Xiao's appearance. She reached out and pulled down Lin Xiao's hand. Her face was red as she said, "Okay, I believe you.
I was too impulsive just now. Did I hurt you? "
"It's okay. At most, you'll lose a layer of skin."
Lin Xiao shrugged and said jokingly.
Although Mu Qing used all her strength, her body was very weak because of the cold poison. Even if she used all her strength, to Lin Xiao, it was just a tickle.
Moreover, if it wasn't for him, Mu Qing's cold poison wouldn't have acted up.
Thinking this, Lin Xiao held Mu Qing's hand and said apologetically, "Sorry, I forgot that today is the fifteenth. I shouldn't have let you take me to the Cold Prison."
Mu Qing's cold poison would act up on the fifteenth night of every month. Today was the fifteenth. Although it wasn't night yet, the cold poison had already begun to stir. Mu Qing took him to the Cold Prison. The cold air entered her body and triggered the cold poison in advance, causing the situation just now.
Mu Qing was slightly stunned by Lin Xiao's serious gaze. She lowered her eyes in embarrassment and said softly, "I can't blame you. I forgot."
"It's okay. I'll remember it for you in the future."
Hearing this, Lin Xiao reached out and stroked Mu Qing's hair. He smiled and said, "Don't look at how fierce you are usually. When the cold poison acts up, it's quite distressing. I don't want to see you so pitiful again."
"You …"
Mu Qing's heartbeat slowed down by half a beat due to Lin Xiao's sudden actions. After being "molested" by Lin Xiao time and time again, the distance between her and Lin Xiao had unknowingly narrowed. And Lin Xiao's words just now had also moved her very much.
Ever since she was a child, she had been suffering from a cold toxin. Every fifteen years, she would be in so much pain that she wished she was dead. However, she had always been strong-willed. She had never let anyone see her weak side, and very few people would say that they felt sorry for her. However, Lin Xiao's words of "feeling sorry for her" and "I'll remember it for you in the future" really touched her heart.
The way Mu Qing looked at Lin Xiao was obviously a little different.
Lin Xiao naturally noticed it too. He couldn't help but touch his chin and teased, "What's wrong?
Are you very touched? Do you have the impulse to repay me with your body? "
"Lecher!"
Hearing this, Mu Qing came back to her senses. She glared at Lin Xiao and scolded him angrily and shyly.
Lin Xiao spread out his hands and said with a smile, "You girls always say one thing and mean another!
Alright, your cold poison has just acted up. You should rest in the room first. I'll go out and walk around by myself. "
"Where are you going?"
Mu Qing furrowed her brows vigilantly and asked.
Lin Xiao didn't answer Mu Qing's question. Instead, he shrugged and joked, "See, see. Aren't you saying one thing and mean another? Just now you called me a lecher, and now you can't bear for me to leave?"
"Who can't bear for you to leave!"
Mu Qing's face was red as she denied it. However, she still couldn't help but remind, "Lin Xiao, don't be rash. Even if you go to the Cold Prison, you won't be able to open the restrictions."
"I know."
Lin Xiao nodded and said seriously.
Mount Taiwu was a famous sect in Jiangchu County. The restrictions of the Cold Prison that imprisoned criminals were definitely not something that an Out of Aperture realm cultivator like him could break. Even if he took the risk and went to the Cold Prison, he might not be able to see his mother. It would be better for him to meet his grandfather before going to the Cold Prison.
"Then what do you plan to do?"
Mu Qing frowned and continued to ask.
From her understanding of Lin Xiao, Lin Xiao definitely wouldn't give up so easily. Even if he agreed not to go to the Cold Prison, he definitely had other plans.
As expected, Lin Xiao's eyes shone and he said in a deep voice, "I want to see Situ Ming."
"You want to see the Sect Leader?"
Mu Qing instinctively wanted to stop him. However, after thinking about it, no matter what, Lin Xiao was the Sect Leader's grandson. The Sect Leader probably wouldn't do anything to Lin Xiao. If the Sect Leader agreed to let Lin Xiao go to see Junior Martial Aunt, that would be for the best. If he didn't agree, the Sect Leader would come out and chase Lin Xiao down the mountain. It would be better than him taking the risk on the mountain.
With that thought, Mu Qing frowned and took out a jade pendant from her waist. She handed it to Lin Xiao and said, "Although the Sect Leader has an extraordinary relationship with you, he might not be willing to admit it. When you see the Sect Leader, you can't be presumptuous.
This jade pendant will allow you to enter Mount Taiwu as you wish. Take it with you. "
"Thank you."
Lin Xiao took the jade pendant and nodded.
Although he knew that Situ Ming lived on Zhenhua Peak, if he didn't have Mu Qing's jade pendant, it would take him some effort to get close to Situ Ming. Now that he had this jade pendant, everything would be much more convenient.
"Who's that brat?
Why does he have the Saint's jade pendant?! "
"Who knows? No matter who he is, seeing the jade pendant is like seeing the Saint. If he wants to see the Sect Leader, we can't stop him."
"Are you guys talking about that brat again?
I heard from the Senior Martial Brother guarding the mountain that this brat seems to have an extraordinary relationship with the Saint. "
"What the heck?
Why didn't you say so earlier?!
If you said so earlier, I wouldn't have stopped him just now. I would have tripped him! "
…
With Mu Qing's jade pendant in hand, Lin Xiao's journey was smooth and unobstructed. However, the gazes of the male disciples of Mount Taiwu made him feel uncomfortable.
Without paying much attention to these gazes, Lin Xiao went up Zhenhua Peak. After searching for a while, he finally found Cangwu Hall where Situ Ming lived.
"Stop!
Who's there?! "
When Lin Xiao walked to the entrance of the hall, he was stopped by the disciples at the entrance.
Although Mu Qing's jade pendant could allow Lin Xiao to enter Mount Taiwu freely, Situ Ming was the Sect Leader of Mount Taiwu. Even Mu Qing's jade pendant couldn't do anything to him.
Lin Xiao raised his head and looked at Cangwu Hall. He looked past the disciple and into the hall. Mustering all his strength, he said, "I'm Lin Xiao, son of Lin Yunzhi. I request to see Sect Leader Situ."
"Impudent!"
When the disciple saw that Lin Xiao was ignoring him, he couldn't help but feel angry. He pointed at Lin Xiao and scolded, "This is the residence of the Sect Leader. How dare you make a ruckus here?
You should immediately … "
"Let him in."
Before the disciple could finish his words, Situ Ming's voice resounded in the hall. The disciple's words were stuck in his throat. He had an awkward expression on his face.
Lin Xiao didn't look at the disciple and stepped into the hall.
